Don't forget, too, the wattage rating on a power supply is the aggregate
across all the different power rails -- If you have lots of drives, you
may max out a 600w power supply's 12v rail, while hardly putting a dent in
its total wattage output.
It's like stereo amplifiers -- they're rated in watts, too, but it's
almost always represented as the aggregate across all channels.
